Problems with the 6.0 3084 software bundle
I recently upgraded to the new 6.0 3084 on my BB Curve 9330 and I am appauled by the performance. My battery life plummeted, and the upgraded software bundle was using 98% of the device RAM (so consitently so that I have been virtually unable to use my phone for little more than checking the time/wake-up alarm since I upgraded several days ago). After being so extremely frustrated with the sluggish software and horrible battery life I have now downgraded to the previous software bundle and am no longer having any issues.
Is a fix in the works? I love my BB and was excited to see an available upgrade, but I am now disappointed by the implementation. I keep telling people I choose my BB over an Android or iPhone any day... but now I'm not sure....
I too have the same problem.
Upon upgrading it (overnight and on the charger), The first day I carried my BB battery died in 3 hours. Subsequently, It took 6 hours to charge. It was virtually unusable first two days; background processes seemingly preventing me from smooth operation. On the third day, finally the BB is usable again, background processes have gone away, but the battery life is about 4 hours. Also, I noticed that the device gets very hot, even when not used, in my hip-carried "Otterbox".
I decided to purchase 2 brand new and original batteries at the tune of $40 each. I figured, if the battery life is in any way related to the battery age, perhaps it was time to replace it. Thus, I purchased two, to keep one as a spare in my travel bag. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem; The difference between the new and old batteries is almost unremarkable.
I use it in Manhattan, NY - plenty of radio reception. No bluetooth, no wifi, no background apps or processes. Just regular email/text/voice.

Problem with the synchronization by Desktop Software (6.1.0.35)
Hi, i have a big problem with the synchronization by Desktop Software (6.1.0.35).
When I installed DS i set to folder sync photos not as
... Documents / BlackBerry / photo (created by default),
but i chose
... Documents / Pictures / Photos from the BlackBerry (created by me).
Basically now I try to change the import folder of images, but it appears the error that is
"Can not set a folder to import to a higher level of import folder"
I tried deleting / Photos from the BlackBerry, and not finding my DS it says:
"The import folder is not available ... etc.." and tells me to change it or with the button or the Media tab of the Device menu> Options.
I do it but the message is always the same: "Unable to set a higher level of import folder to import folder"
I find it an absurd bug and ask to help me solve it. ThanksWell folks. I've had enough.
The 9780 is a great phone, it's easy to use, practical and dependable. However, the Desktop Manager software has been giving me too many sleepless nights. On two occassions I must add: once at the end of last year when I bought it and only managed to solve it by myself after 4 weeks of trawling through online forums, blogs and other BB help sites and the recent one was last week when I tried to install it on my new Windows 7 notebook.
I know this is not entirely the fault of RIM, Microsoft also has a part to play. But considering the state of technology these days, it shouldn't have to be so difficult. I want a phone and software that makes my life easier and not have to be a slave to it by trying days and nights to solve its problems.
Hence, I have officially decom my phone and gotten an iPhone 4 instead. The switch ain't that difficult for me as I have always been platform neutral. As long it fits my needs, does it job well and doesn't give me too much headache, I'm cool with it.
Ciao folks! -
Problem with the 4.3.2 software update?
I have a 32GB Ipod touch and recently I have been having what seems to be software problems. I can't use apps without the Ipod skipping back to the main screen, or the recently used apps list popping up from the bottom of the screen. When left on the side it is constantly turning itself on and off which is wasting the battery. At first I just tried getting on with it however am now becoming more and more frustrated, especially when playing games as I get anywhere between 5-60 seconds gameplay before the app shuts down and I'm again faced with the homescreen. I tried turning it on and off, then tried restoring it however I'm still having the problem. Anyone else having the same problem or anyone know how to resolve it? any help would be appreciated as I feel going to the Apple shop could potentially hurt my wallet.
You might be correct on that. One of the people I support had just gone up to 4.3.2 on her iPod Touch and it's doing the exact same thing. I did a full wipe and restored everything it and the battery level went from 50% down to 20% in minutes. It also started taking me back to the main screen while I was in the Settings screen.
I then wiped it again (battery level was back to showing 50%), only this time I set it up as a new device. I configured the Exchange email on it and I could sworn I saw the battery level jump up touch without it being plugged in. I should know by Monday if it's back to normal but I have feeling this is a bug in the OS.
I'm planning on upgrading my iPad tonight but I'm probably going to hold off on my iPhone. -
Problems with the latest update of software
Hello everybody, first of all I may write some words wrong because my language is not english but what I have to say is that I have a BIG problem with my Ipad, yesterday (03-06-2014) a new update arrived to my Ipad and I accepted the update, a few minutes after I saw the download running but after a hour the download completly stopped, I asked to a friend of mine if this is normal and she said that it was going to take the whole night to do the update, today (04-06-2014) i woke up and the update was at the same place, now what am I going to do? Am i going to lose everything that I had in my Ipad? Has this only happen to me? Why has my Ipad blocked? Am I going to be told that my Ipad has no arregement just because of this?
Attention: my Ipad has IOS 7.awm7353 wrote:
How do I reset it? I have pushed every button on it and nothing happens.
Hold down on the home and power/sleep buttons at the same time for a few seconds and the iPad should restart. -
Has anyone else experienced problems with the disc burner/driver software not being found?
I am trying to burn music onto a disc and it is telling me that the disc burner/driver software has not been found. Has anyone else experienced this with their MacBook Pro?
SuperDrives wear out - it seems that yours might be on the verge of a mechanical failure. I'd just replace it, buying a new drive from Other World Computing and installing it yourself (because Apple would charge a small fortune).

I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on. When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software. Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar. The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem. I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond. Please tell me something. The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S 16GB. Black.
I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

I am not getting any sound input on my microphone. There is no microphone input on my new macbook pro, so I am using my old one. Is this a problem with the new operating system? Did they simply remove any microphone software?
Check System Preferences > Sound > Output
Make sure the correct device is selected. -

People cannot hear me properly on my iPhone 4, although I can hear them very well. Would upgrading to iOS 5 perhaps sort this out, or any other software matter, or is it more likely to be a problem with the microphone?
Please... Anyone

Software problems with the zen visio
hey,
i just got the zen vision m yesterday. very nice day.
today after finding out that the player works well i decided to upload some more music and pictures then i did yesterday, but everytime the zen media explorer hangs itself up i uninstalled all the software and then reinstalled it, but again i didn't work when it comes to the upload
i'm clueless, is this a common problem and are there any other software or a new uptdated software versions, which may help me?
i really really want that player to work, because the -2 hours i got with it were great
i got the zen m 30 gb working on windows xp home...
thanks a lot
jim
edit: it's the upload assistent who doesn't want to work anymore...
downloaded a update for the zen media explorer but nothing changed...I use Widows XP Professional SP3 and Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 with medially .
I can't see why this matters because the problems are located at the player itself, I've got no
problems with moving files to the player or any problems with connecting the player with the computer,
I'm experiencing a lot of freezups of the firmware of the player, harddisk keeps running, it does that
till the battery is low or till I push reset, sometimes this doesn't help at all, the operating system at
the harddri've gets somehow damaged by the instability of the filesystem, reflashing the firmware helps
the. Problems appear to be a software problem with the firmware, the player went away for repairs once,
with this problem, they have checked the harddisk, harddisk was fine but the os crapped up it's self
somehow, know this because I asked them to tell me every thing what was wrong and how they solved this,
asked them also how I could fix the player myself? if it was no hardware problem.
They told me to reflash the firmware and format the dri've from the service mode out.
